On November 10, [GE Vernova](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid) set out plans for a [new $34.5 million investment to expand its transformer manufacturing operations in Shreveport, Louisiana](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid), and the company expects the work to [create 175 direct new jobs at the facility](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid). The jobs will be at the plant at [7000 W. Bert Kouns Industrial Loop in Shreveport](https://www.kedm.org/louisiana-news/2026-11-10/ge-vernova-transformers-invests-34-5-million-to-expand-its-company), which makes industrial and renewable energy transformers. No hiring date has been published, and [installation is expected to continue through the end of 2026 and throughout 2027](https://bizmagsb.com/ge-vernova-to-invest-34-5-million-in-shreveport-plant-add-175-jobs/). For [Metaintro](https://www.metaintro.com) readers in northwest Louisiana, this guide separates the plant jobs from the state's wider estimate, shows what the plant has hired for before, and explains where to watch for openings.

## What Exactly Did GE Vernova Announce for Shreveport?

The project belongs to [GE Vernova Transformers Shreveport LLC](https://www.kedm.org/louisiana-news/2026-11-10/ge-vernova-transformers-invests-34-5-million-to-expand-its-company), the unit that runs the existing plant. Planned improvements include [new manufacturing equipment, process enhancements and supporting infrastructure across key production areas](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid), and the upgrades are expected to [increase production of industrial and renewable energy transformers](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid).

This is an expansion of a working factory, not a new building on a new site. The company will [add manufacturing equipment, upgrade production processes and improve infrastructure at its existing facility](https://bizmagsb.com/ge-vernova-to-invest-34-5-million-in-shreveport-plant-add-175-jobs/), so the new roles join a plant that is already staffed and running.

The news came [on Tuesday](https://www.utilitydive.com/news/ge-vernova-to-spend-345m-expanding-transformer-manufacturing-capacity-in/874272/).

## Is the Real Number 175 Jobs, or 360?

The number that matters for a job seeker is the [direct new jobs](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid) figure GE Vernova expects to create at the plant itself.

The second figure is a state estimate. [Louisiana Economic Development](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid) estimates the project will [support an additional 185 indirect jobs](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid), for a [total potential employment impact of 360 new job opportunities across the Northwest Louisiana region](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid). Those indirect jobs are [separate from the jobs the company expects to add at the plant](https://www.bigcountrynewsconnection.com/ge-vernova-plans-shreveport-expansion-with-state-incentives). You cannot apply to GE Vernova for an indirect job.

The third figure covers people who already work there. GE Vernova counts [more than 630 existing positions at the facility](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid), and the more exact count has the company [retaining 637 current positions](https://www.kedm.org/louisiana-news/2026-11-10/ge-vernova-transformers-invests-34-5-million-to-expand-its-company). The two figures describe the current workforce, and neither is a count of openings.

## When Will the New Jobs Start to Appear?

GE Vernova has not given a hiring date. The plan is staged, and [engineering and equipment procurement are underway](https://bizmagsb.com/ge-vernova-to-invest-34-5-million-in-shreveport-plant-add-175-jobs/).

Installation comes next, so the jobs [won't be immediate](https://www.shreveportbossieradvocate.com/business/ge-vernova-to-inject-34-5m-into-shreveport-plant-adding-175-jobs/article_9bdd521d-f1e3-42df-ab36-cb327b009c03.html). GE Vernova's own target is that [production is expected to reach full capacity in 2028](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid).

So the new roles are a plan that builds over time, not vacancies open this week. GE Vernova has not said when the new roles will be posted, so set up the alerts covered further down and get your application materials ready.

## What Does the Shreveport Plant Make?

The plant builds equipment that changes the voltage on the grid. Transformers are [products that boost or reduce the voltage that runs along miles of power lines](https://www.shreveportbossieradvocate.com/business/ge-vernova-to-inject-34-5m-into-shreveport-plant-adding-175-jobs/article_9bdd521d-f1e3-42df-ab36-cb327b009c03.html), and the Shreveport upgrade targets [industrial and renewable energy transformers, including those serving digital factories and battery energy storage applications](https://www.kedm.org/louisiana-news/2026-11-10/ge-vernova-transformers-invests-34-5-million-to-expand-its-company).

The [Bert Kouns facility also houses Prolec GE](https://www.shreveportbossieradvocate.com/business/ge-vernova-to-inject-34-5m-into-shreveport-plant-adding-175-jobs/article_9bdd521d-f1e3-42df-ab36-cb327b009c03.html). Shreveport [designs, manufactures and tests its pole-mounted, pad-mounted and substation voltage regulators](https://www.prolec.energy/about-us/our-locations/prolec-shreveport/), it builds [Safe-NET® network transformers](https://www.prolec.energy/about-us/our-locations/prolec-shreveport/), and on Prolec's current Shreveport page, [three-phase pad-mounted transformers are the latest expansion to the site’s capability portfolio](https://www.prolec.energy/about-us/our-locations/prolec-shreveport/).

The floor work is hands-on. The facility performs [operations such as metal fabrication, welding, cold welding, core assembly and coating](https://www.prolec.energy/about-us/our-locations/prolec-shreveport/). Welding is one of those trades, and job seekers weighing the plant can compare [welder salary](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/welder-salary) figures for that work.

Digital factories here means [those facilities that use advanced software and robotics to build physical products like cars or planes](https://www.shreveportbossieradvocate.com/business/ge-vernova-to-inject-34-5m-into-shreveport-plant-adding-175-jobs/article_9bdd521d-f1e3-42df-ab36-cb327b009c03.html).

The plant has deep roots in the city. [General Electric broke ground on the facility in 1969, with transformer production beginning in 1970](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid), and since then [the 500,000-square-foot operation has continued to evolve, expanding its products and manufacturing capabilities](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid).

> This investment reflects the strength of Shreveport’s skilled workforce, Mayor Tom Arceneaux said, according to [the KEDM Public Radio report](https://www.kedm.org/louisiana-news/2026-11-10/ge-vernova-transformers-invests-34-5-million-to-expand-its-company).

## What Kinds of Jobs Has This Plant Hired For Before?

The new announcement does not list job titles, but the plant's last expansion did. In April 2023, Prolec GE USA, then [a joint venture between Xignux and General Electric](https://www.opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-create-153-new-jobs), expected to create [153 new direct jobs including machine operators, maintenance personnel, supervisors and engineers](https://www.opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-create-153-new-jobs). That earlier project, an investment of [up to $28.5 million](https://www.opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-create-153-new-jobs), included [the installation of a third production line](https://www.opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-create-153-new-jobs).

The hiring event for that round named the work areas. At a July 2023 job fair, recruiters screened candidates for positions in [coil winding, assembly, test labs, maintenance, finishing and supply chain management](https://opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-to-conduct-job-fair-for-shreveport-facility-expansion), and attendees were [asked to bring three copies of their résumé](https://opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-to-conduct-job-fair-for-shreveport-facility-expansion).

The plant marked the completion of that project on [November 20, 2024](https://prolec.energy/?p=5323). The final figures came in above the first estimates. Prolec GE called it a [$34 million capacity expansion project](https://prolec.energy/?p=5323) with work that [began in early 2023](https://prolec.energy/?p=5323), and [this expansion added over 270 new positions](https://prolec.energy/?p=5323). Guided tours at the opening featured [state-of-the-art test labs, a new training area and evidence of improved process flow](https://prolec.energy/?p=5323). At those tours, [production employees provided firsthand knowledge at select workstations](https://prolec.energy/?p=5323).

That round also changed how much the plant can build. Prolec CEO Ricardo Suarez credited the work with [adding over 1,500 units per year to our production capacity](https://prolec.energy/?p=5323). Layout changes on the network transformer and voltage regulator lines brought [an approximate 15% capacity increase for each of those product lines](https://prolec.energy/?p=5323).

None of this guarantees the new roles will match. It is a record of what this same plant hired for the last time it grew. GE Vernova has not named roles for the new expansion.

## What Will the New Shreveport Jobs Pay?

No wages have been published for the new jobs, and GE Vernova [had not responded to questions about wages](https://www.bigcountrynewsconnection.com/ge-vernova-plans-shreveport-expansion-with-state-incentives) when The Center Square published.

Prolec's careers page lists benefits that [vary by location](https://www.prolec.energy/careers/). They include [leading edge health care coverage for medical, dental and vision](https://www.prolec.energy/careers/), [competitive variable pay and bonus programs](https://www.prolec.energy/careers/), [paid vacation and holidays](https://www.prolec.energy/careers/) and [education focused with reimbursement and dependent scholarship opportunities](https://www.prolec.energy/careers/).

## What Is Louisiana Giving GE Vernova for the Expansion?

To support the expansion, Louisiana offered a competitive incentives package that [includes a $300,000 performance-based grant for site and infrastructure improvements](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid). GE Vernova is also [expected to participate in the state’s Quality Jobs and Industrial Tax Exemption programs](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid).

Tax programs come on top of the grant. The Industrial Tax Exemption Program [offers an 80% property tax abatement for up to 10 years on the new investment](https://www.shreveportbossieradvocate.com/business/ge-vernova-to-inject-34-5m-into-shreveport-plant-adding-175-jobs/article_9bdd521d-f1e3-42df-ab36-cb327b009c03.html), the Shreveport Bossier City Advocate report noted. [Neither the organization, referred to as LED, nor the company disclosed the estimated value of the anticipated incentives](https://www.bigcountrynewsconnection.com/ge-vernova-plans-shreveport-expansion-with-state-incentives), The Center Square found.

The [hiring and investment requirements attached to the grant](https://www.bigcountrynewsconnection.com/ge-vernova-plans-shreveport-expansion-with-state-incentives) were not specified in the releases either, The Center Square found.

For comparison, the 2023 project drew [a performance-based award of $500,000](https://www.opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-create-153-new-jobs) and [the comprehensive workforce solutions of LED FastStart](https://www.opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-create-153-new-jobs).

## How Do You Apply for GE Vernova Jobs in Shreveport?

Start with the company's main board. The [GE Vernova careers portal](https://careers.gevernova.com/jobs) lets you search by keyword and by Positions Near a location, and its [experience level filter](https://careers.gevernova.com/jobs) includes Early Career and Apprentice options alongside Mid Career and Senior Level roles.

Get your resume ready now. Lead with any machine, welding, maintenance or test lab experience, using the [skills for your manufacturing resume](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/manufacturing-resume-skills) that match the plant floor.

## Why Is GE Vernova Expanding Transformer Production Now?

The company ties it to power demand. Philippe Piron, CEO of the Electrification segment, said [electricity demand is growing, and transformers are part of the critical grid equipment essential to delivering the power our customers and modern economies depend on](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid).

A GE Vernova spokesperson put the cause in wider terms, pointing to [the growing demand globally for electricity and energy which we see across the U.S. and also on a kind of global level](https://www.shreveportbossieradvocate.com/business/ge-vernova-to-inject-34-5m-into-shreveport-plant-adding-175-jobs/article_9bdd521d-f1e3-42df-ab36-cb327b009c03.html).

> It will address a lot of the supply chain shortages on a domestic level, a GE Vernova spokesperson said, according to [the Shreveport Bossier City Advocate report](https://www.shreveportbossieradvocate.com/business/ge-vernova-to-inject-34-5m-into-shreveport-plant-adding-175-jobs/article_9bdd521d-f1e3-42df-ab36-cb327b009c03.html).

Piron said the project [builds on more than five decades of manufacturing expertise in Shreveport](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid). LED Secretary Susan B. Bourgeois said the expansion supports [long-term job growth and creating more opportunities for Louisiana workers](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid).

Piron also framed the project around people, calling it [an investment in the skilled workforce and local community that have been central to this facility’s success for generations](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid).

Ownership changed this year. On February 2, GE Vernova [completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake of Prolec GE](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-completes-prolec-ge-acquisition) for [a purchase price of $5.275 billion](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-completes-prolec-ge-acquisition). At the close, Prolec GE had [approximately 10,000 employees across seven manufacturing sites in the Americas, including five in the U.S.](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-completes-prolec-ge-acquisition)

Prolec GE CEO Ricardo Suarez, who stayed in his role after the deal, said at the close that he was [excited for the opportunities our employees will have to learn and grow further as part of a global industry leader](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-completes-prolec-ge-acquisition), and he pointed to [the continued investment in our sites](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-completes-prolec-ge-acquisition).

Shreveport is one piece of a wider plan. The expansion is part of GE Vernova's [broader plan to invest nearly $1.3 billion across its U.S. manufacturing facilities and research centers between 2025 and 2028](https://www.gevernova.com/news/press-releases/ge-vernova-invest-345-million-shreveport-facility-expansion-meet-growing-grid). Another part is in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, where a [$138 million expansion](https://www.tdworld.com/grid-innovations/news/55417969/grid-equipment-crunch-ge-vernova-investing-345m-in-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-scale-transformer-production) is expected to create [approximately 275 new jobs through 2028](https://www.tdworld.com/grid-innovations/news/55417969/grid-equipment-crunch-ge-vernova-investing-345m-in-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-scale-transformer-production). That plant sits in Charleroi, [21 miles south of Pittsburgh](https://www.tdworld.com/grid-innovations/news/55417969/grid-equipment-crunch-ge-vernova-investing-345m-in-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-scale-transformer-production), and the work there is [part of an ongoing $166 million investment in Western Pennsylvania](https://www.tdworld.com/grid-innovations/news/55417969/grid-equipment-crunch-ge-vernova-investing-345m-in-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-scale-transformer-production). Both projects fit a push to [boost domestic production of grid-essential equipment and shorten lead times for critical electrical infrastructure](https://www.tdworld.com/grid-innovations/news/55417969/grid-equipment-crunch-ge-vernova-investing-345m-in-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-scale-transformer-production).

## What This Means for Job Seekers in Northwest Louisiana, and What Should You Do Next?

The jobs are real, but they build slowly. The new hires are tied to equipment that is still being bought and installed, so this is a story about a staged build, not about a start date this winter. Anyone who wants one of these roles has time to prepare, and that time works in a local job seeker's favor.

The plant also tells you what to learn. The last time it grew, it recruited [machine operators, maintenance personnel, supervisors and engineers](https://www.opportunitylouisiana.gov/news/prolec-ge-shreveport-facility-expansion-to-create-153-new-jobs), so both hands-on trades and engineering skills have a place on its floor.

Do not count the indirect jobs as a GE Vernova opening. The state's wider figure covers [indirect jobs across northwest Louisiana](https://www.bigcountrynewsconnection.com/ge-vernova-plans-shreveport-expansion-with-state-incentives), separate from the plant jobs, so it is not a list of roles you can apply for at the plant. The plant jobs are the ones GE Vernova expects to create itself.

- **Sign up for alerts now.** Use the [LED FastStart job alerts](https://opportunities.ledfaststart.com/global/en/prolecge-careers) and set a Shreveport search on the [GE Vernova careers portal](https://careers.gevernova.com/jobs).
- **Build trade skills.** Welding, metal fabrication and core assembly are [operations the plant already performs](https://www.prolec.energy/about-us/our-locations/prolec-shreveport/), so training in any of them gives you something concrete to list.

Lacey Kaelani, [Metaintro](https://www.metaintro.com)'s CEO, puts it this way: When a plant keeps growing in the same city, the people nearby who learn the trade early are the ones ready when the postings open. Get on the alert lists now and build one skill the floor uses.
